Is this potential or kinetic energy?
Potential Energy
Object that is moving has... (______) Energy.
Kinetic
What two pieces of information do you need to calculate the speed of something?
time and distance
Ball on top of a hill has MORE OR LESS potential energy?
The higher the object the more potential energy
A stationary roller coaster is at the top of the track. What kind of energy does it have?
Potential energy
Speed affects Kinetic energy; the faster the movement the ------- the kinetic energy.
the faster the kinetic energy
What is the average speed of a ball that rolled 128 inches in 4 seconds?
32 inches a second
Height affects potential energy. What else affects potential energy?
Mass or weight
Which point has the greatest kinetic energy?
anything not moving or stored
friction and transform ___________ to ___________ energy
kinetic to thermal
In 6 seconds Tucker ran 48 feet. How fast was he running?
8ft per second.
A ball is rolling down a hill. What kind of energy does it have?
Kinetic because it is moving
How does friction slow down a roller coaster car?
It converts the kinetic energy to thermal energy.
As a roller coaster is rolling down the track, is it transforming/converting
It is losing potential energy and gaining kinetic energy
A school bus travels at 40 miles per hour. How long would it take the bus to go 20 miles?
half an hour
What has more PE?
Watermelon of mass 18kg ? or Feather of mass 3kg
the watermelon because it has more weight.
The MORE mass the MORE Potential Energy
What point on the roller coaster has the GREATEST Potential energy and WHY?
Point A because it is the highest
When a roller coaster is going up the hill the energy is transforming/ converting
It is losing Kinetic and gaining potential energy
Tate kicked a soccer ball and it went 5ft per second.
Jack kicked a soccer ball and it went 250 ft per minute.
Which one kicked the ball faster? (explain how you know)
Tate kicked the ball faster there are 60 seconds in minute so 5 X 60 = 300
Which means the ball she kicked was traveling at 300 feet per minute.
True or False: Point B and D have the same amount of potential energy
True
